Ingredients
  

  • 1 can jumbo cinnamon rolls
  • purple green, and gold sanding sugar
  • baby Jesus figurine I used this kit with the figurine included.
  • Printable Recipe: Sparkling Charm Cream Cheese Glaze
  • 4 ounces cream cheese whole fat/softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream + more to reach your desired consistency
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract This one is my favorite!
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract until well combined. Set aside.
  • Open the cinnamon rolls and carefully pull them apart. One at a time, unroll the dough. Cut in half, then cut the two halves down the center equaling 4 strips. Fold the short strips in half. Pull the dough a little to make it longer and twist. Create a circle with the dough and pinch to hold it together. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake on middle for 10 to 12 minutes or until just golden brown. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from oven and immediately place on a cooling rack.
  • Insert the baby figurine into one of the mini king cakes. 
  • Time to spread and sprinkle! Spread the room temperature glaze onto the warm mini king cakes and sprinkle like crazy with the purple, gold, and green sanding sugar.
